## Practical Tips for Better Prompting

1. **Be specific**: The more precise your instructions, the better the result
2. **Use examples**: Few-shot prompting often improves quality
3. **Structure complex tasks**: For difficult tasks, use CoT or ToT
4. **Iterate**: Refine your prompts based on the results
5. **Context is king**: Provide relevant background information
6. **Specify format**: Describe exactly how the output should look

**Tip**: Treat the AI like a new colleague - provide all necessary information, but don't overload with unimportant details.
